About Atticus

At any given time, 16 million Americans face a crisis that requires urgent legal or government assistance. Atticus makes it easy for people with disabilities, victims of accidents, misconduct, or violence to get life-changing aid and compensation. Over the last six years we have become a leading platform connecting people in need with government benefits and legal support. To date we have helped more than 110,000 people, earned over 13,000 five-star reviews, and secured more than $4 billion in aid for clients. We have raised over $100 million from top VCs including Fika, Forerunner, GV (Google Ventures), and True Ventures, and we closed our Series C round in April 2025. We grew from 89 to over 151 team members last year, and we expect continued growth in 2025.

Atticus operates in an industry dominated by outdated technology. While competitors rely on large call centers, antiquated CRMs, and paper checks, our product and engineering teams power a modern platform that delivers better outcomes for clients and partner lawyers. As a mission-driven, VC-backed B Corporation, our engineering work directly helps people in crisis.
